JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:

Penn State's Frost Museum is seeking to hire a summer intern. The intern
will join the Frost Entomological Museum for the summer focusing primarily
on digitizing museum records associated with herbivorous insects,
especially aphids and their host plants. Secondary efforts include specimen
collection and preparation, public engagement, and other collection tasks.
Museum staff will provide professional training in areas of natural history
specimen digitization, curation, specimen preparation, biodiversity
informatics, and collections advocacy and management.

In addition to learning skills relevant to a career in natural history
science or museums, the intern will have ample opportunities to learn about
different projects and career paths of other staff and summer researchers
at the museum. Penn State’s flagship campus at University Park hosts
dynamic communities of entomologists, agricultural scientists, biologists,
and museum professionals, who are largely accessible to interns at the
Frost.

Prior experience with collections is not required, but attention to detail,
curiosity about the natural world, and a commitment to science are
essential.

The successful candidate will spend 8–10 weeks of the summer at 40
hours/week at the Frost Museum. Compensation starts at $15/hour. Start date
is negotiable.

To apply:

   - Resume or CV
   - Personal statement: In less than two pages, please explain why you are
   interested in interning at the Frost Entomological Museum; describe your
   personal and/or professional interests; and describe how this experience
   may facilitate your career goals.
   - Three references: Name, organization, phone, email, brief description
   of relationship.
